Has anyone else found their twitter app laggy and slow to respond to touch especially when scrolling? Its really bad for me so much so as I'm using another app for now. I'd prefer to use the official version. Does anyone know what the problem might be.

It is gingerbread. There's a video on YouTube called something like "android is now as smooth as iOS" the video shows the difference when the GPU is allowed to regulate use in ICS.

Actually, it's laggy on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Note ...it's not really related to Gingerbread or ICS because the official Twitter app sucks on both and I've noticed it for a while now. Hopefully they fix it.

Yeah, it has to do with Gingerbread, not the phone itself. I saw the same YouTube video, where the user forced 3D GPU rendering on ICS and the twitter app was smooth as butter. It has to do with Android not defaulting/forcing the full use of the GPU for rendering, probably has something to do with battery life. I think if you are on ICS, and have Developer Tools in the settings menu (probably some custom rom has this enabled) then you can force gpu rendering.
Read here. They recently updated, and the article was nice enough to mention the Note specifically!
I just updated it. It's not 100% smooth, but it is probably 100% better than it was 2 days ago. It was almost unusable before...
I update and found it to be better also

The only smooth launcher is motorolas own launcher, every single market launcher is unsmooth when scrolling, is this true for everybody else? Does anybody else know a launcher which would scroll smoothly on our razrs?

Yes horizontal scrolls are lagging for me
I use go launcher ex and it is smooth as silk. Blows every other phone I've ever had away. Makes my GF's DX feel ten years old, and even my DX2 is slow in comparison.
Using Launcher2, the stock Android Gingerbread. Seem OK to me. The default Motoblur also OK and not bad at all.
I am not picky about the smoothness of the icons' scrolling, just what one of my iOS fan friends told me. The overall system performance, reception and stability are more important than menu scrolling. IMHO.
Thank you.
If you want smoothness then you should go for a WindowsPhone, but ADW Launcher is coming close. In fact, even launcher pro has been running very smooth on the Razr so maybe there are some settings you've missed?
Go launcher, ADW and launcher pro all work smooth for me. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are flawless.

I believe ADW is so smooth due to the fact it uses harware accelerators. Go Launcher simply runs off the phones RAM so it can become laggy at times.

Pretty sure Ander Webs said hardware acceleration is not utilized as it breaks backwards compatibility. That's close to quotable. It was on Google+. He wants to use it but to fully upgrade ADW it would have to be a separate app.
Again guys, use the terminal suggestion I mentioned. Works wonders. Takes away redraws as well.

Well, on anderwebs website it says "Use of hardware acceleration on specific features when possible."
Not sure if that means it device specific or what, but all the websites I usually read from even report ADW uses it.
and this was listed under the latest update too

Yeah definitely if you can find it post it. I would LIKE to believe what dev's claim but sometimes it can too good to be true.
I haven't rooted my razr yet, I did my bionic and my other droids. Not having a fastboot in case I get into trouble was a little bit of a turn off. I know there is a process but it sounds like a pain.

It's just as easy as the bionic man. Put Safestrap on afterwards, make a backup immediately, and you're fine. Safestrap is a wonderful safety net. Boots into recovery everytime. As long as you make that stock backup you're good.

You will have to scroll down through the comments to find Ander Webb. However, it's a great read, so I would recommend reading the entire article and all of the comments.
EDIT: Here is his quote: "This is a great post, I wish 99% users would read and understand it. But unluckily they just want their hardware acceleration turned on and the magic powers of it doing everything fly.
On a more technical note, I've noticed how expensive canvas operations (save layer, porterduff filters, etc) run about 2-4 times faster in software layers than hardware layers, and noticed how great hardware layers perform when using drawing caches.
The bad part is: for a developer, usually there's no easy way of changing the rendering pipeline while maintaining backwards compatibility. So I end up still doing almost everything on a canvas and loosing the benefits of the hardware acceleration for new devices: (" --Ander Webbs (ADW creator)
Just wanted to inform everyone that a netflix update just went out. It improved the UI choppiness a little bit... but it's still pretty choppy in comparison to other tablets.
I'm not experiencing choppiness that's worse than my original Transformer or my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1. In fact, Netflix on my Prime is far better than both...
Enabling the "Force GPU rendering" option under developer options helps a lot regarding the Netflix UI.
Oh thank God. My netflix app is damn near unusable due to the choppyness.

I have never has smooth Netflix browsing, regardless of the Android device I was using the app on. Basically the Netflix app just sucks. At least playback is (relatively) smooth. The Xbox 360 app also sucks (for different reasons). I believe Netflix just doesn't know how to make a decent app.

I think theres always gonna be choppiness and lag even with force gpu on Netflix. It may help a lot but it will never be smooth like when your browsing or swiping through home screens.
Update still leaves my ui really choppy and laggy, but force gpu rendering did help alot. Are there any cons with leaving that setting applied?

The only con I encountered was it broke the game Meltdown from Mars. I just get a black acreen. So if I wanna play it I have to uncheck gpu rendering. Not a big deal. That's all so far for me.

That's because pretty much every app is already using GPU acceleration. So for those apps, checking the box does nothing.
But for apps that do not use GPU acceleration (because the developer is too lazy to code properly) it can help. Some apps are written so badly, that they will actually break when forcing GPU rendering. Which is why it isn't checked by default.

Technically it should reduce battery drain, as the GPU would consume less power to do the same graphical task than the CPU (since the GPU is actually made for it).

Adobe Reader and evernote are the applications where forcing GPU acceleration made a huge difference for me.
Without it, big PDFs were extremely choppy, scrolling pages and zoom was a pain, after that, everything ran extremely fluid.
I kinda suspect it's because some changes must have been made in the way android used to force GPU acceleration form 4.0, and now, in those applications forced is not as default.
You know you guys now have to run some sort of benchmark tests or post a short video showing GPU-on and GPU-off performance! :laugh:
Is there any kind of negative effect of doing this?
I've noticed it a few times and thought of doing it, but figured if it was the best option then it would be on by default.
There must be a reason it is disabled? Battery? Compatibility? Kittens dying?

I think it's called "Force GPU Rendering" in dev settings. I enabled it and tested on an app that usually scrolls choppy and slow. I noticed smooth and fast scrolling after enabling.
It is not enabled by default because Google cannot guarantee compatibility with all apps. Apps that make heavy use of custom widgets *may* have rendering issues. It is something that app developers should opt-in for but often the developers do not, despite there being no issues. 98% of apps work great with it forced on.
It shouldn't cause reboots or the like unless a particular app that isn't compatible somehow crashes the kernel(not likely). *If* it causes an issue with an app then usually it will not render 100% correctly or at worst it will force close.

The scrolling seems more controlled in android. By fast flick scrolling you can scroll past long pages instead of scrolling a 30 times.

Easy optimize the system correctly. Plenty of topics on here about that, search.
- Start with disabling unneeded Samsung Services (that usually Google services are already taking care of) etc.
- Remove unwanted Start-ups.
- If using another launcher, make sure it isn't the launcher at fault. ie. Many Apex launcher betas has problems scrolling..
Android is like Windows, Linux etc needs tuning and Samsung doesn't do a great job at it. Easy for Apple, same software on the same basic hardware config and its all controlled by one source.
Want that feel get a Nexus, where it's untainted and controlled by Google. If not be prepared to tweak it, fun for geeks not fun for those that ain't or have no time.

One question ... Maybe stupid but I will fire anyway.
I see lots of people stating that for full feel of android we should get a nexus, but I assume that this recommendation is only for those that will never play with ROMs, right?
Cause I know that nexus devices will get their stock updates sooner than others, but usually in a couple of days we start getting the RoMs based on that new version, with some tweaks. I see the nexus guys also playing with ROMs that have stock flavor but with tweaks ... So what's the difference?
Aren't we all at the end with a close to stock ROM with some tweaks?

More over stop comparing it with iphone. There is no point. Iphone has no widgets or anything. All it has to handle are the icons, how tough would that be. More over the code is perfectly optimised for the device.

Hi guys, i have tried a lot, but im still not satisfied and i also hope this question is allowed.
I dont want to buy a new tab, just get out the best of this one. So im running cm10.1 on it with interactive govener up to 1600 mhz. I also activated gpu rendering. And tryed out severals browsers. But its still miles away from the browsing performance of e. g. my computer. Of cause this tab has a lower hardware, but is the maximum of it really reached? I have more the feeling that it is software caused. What is your opinion, what else can i do to make it smoother and faster in scrolling and browsing, because thats all i do with this tab. Greets and thx for reponse.
